Johan Renault, master program student in marketing, how was your green journey to Schwäbisch Hall in Germany?

We stopped a few times along the way, but it actually didn’t feel that long when driving down all together, and we didn’t get bored.

In the last ten years, relatively large groups have entered the labour market. At the same time, most societal sectors have expressed a clear skills shortage. The next ten years are expected to be even tougher and competition for skilled employees will intensify.
This development will also likely be reflected in a growing demand for higher education, where we can expect increasing competition to attract students.
